The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1887-11-24

These conyicts are citizens of the
State deprived of their liberty for a
time for the safety of society ; but they
have an absolute right to the protection
and guardianship of the State, with
everything of moral and physical well
being implied in such relation. 1t is
an extraordinary perversion of the
fundamental principles upon which
rests the right of society to deprive II
citizen of his liberty as a punishment
for crime, to assert that he can he

of the gravest character.
In speaking of this subject Governor
Gordon of Georgia said recently.
"There is fundamental objection
which I consider fatal to the whole
system; that is this, it places cupidity
in conflict with humanity. With all
the care that the State can possibly
give, all the restraints that the law
can impose, all the watchfulness of
even humane lessees, it is impossible
to prevent wrong and cruelty"
An intelligent study of the nature of
the system will convince any discrim-
mating mind of the correctness of
these views. Any lessee will natural

of the governed is the basis of Just
government in its application to gov
erned women, no less than to governed
men.
If the voice of the great multitude,
gathered on the 18th of September, had
been heard for equal human rights il
respective of sex, it would have been
the beginning cf the end of the subjec-
ton of women. Congress would have
felt the force of its affirmation. Every
State legislature would have been in
huenced by it. 1t would have marked
an epoch which glad millions would
have honorcd for ever. As the centu-
rics roll by, that day would have been
observed as II great historic day. But
the occasion was lost. The men who
celebrated the great deed of dead
heroes on the 18th of September left
no great deed of their own to be cele-
brated now or hereafter.
But how great was the need! To-
day every male rufiian out of prison is
entitled to vote. The burglar or the
incendiary serves his sentence and
comes to the polls with an unques-
toned right to cast his ballot. The
man who pounded his wife, broke her
nose, tore her hair, and put out her
eyes with an awl was sentenced by II
New York court to only nine months
imprisonment He will come out OF
prison and vote for legislators who
will be lenient to wifc-beaters. She
will wander with blinded eyes, power
less to protect herself, and with no
adequate protection by law. The men
who commit indecent assaults upon
women and little girls vote, as in Della
ware, to limit the age of protection for
female children to seven years. The
heartbroken mothers may wiring their
hands in helpless agony, but the pow
er for protection which is in the Eallot
is denied to them
But more than any personal wrongs
is the danger to the public welfare
which comes by the exercise of political
power by vast classes of irresponsible
and wicked men, while there is no
adequate moral power to offset or
counterbalancc it. Men have had this
Government all to themselves hun
dred years. The respect for law and
order with which they began has
grown less and less. The peace and
safety of all our cities are menaced,
and the integrity of the Government
itself is put in peril by the increase OF
political corruption and intrigue OF
vice and crime, and every species OF
lawlessness. Men who desire u right
condition of things are powerlcss.
The one thing left to oppose these
growing evils which has not been
tried is political power in the hands OF
women.

phia to add the force of that great as.

THE MODEL GIRL.
She Knows Neither Idisnoss, Nor Repin

She Knows Neither Idisnoss, Nor Repin
ing, Nor dissatisfied Ambition.
Cheerful but never boisterous, happy
but never thoughtless, our bonnie
lassie is the peac maker, the universal
helper, the sympathizer, the active
worker of her home. Whatever is
wanted she can supply; AMI she can do
all that is needed for the comfort of
every one. She is eyes t. the blind,
feet to the lame, hands to the incap-
able. 1t any thing is to be done for
grandmamma, it is she who does it.
When mother is i'll, it is she who waits
on her, who looks after the little ones
and does the housekeeping. Loving,
unselfish, energetic, industrious, she
has no ambition outside the circle of
home and it affections; and she does
not pretend to intellectual merit. She
adores her mother, and lives in perfect
peace with her sisters-which does not
prevent her giving her whole heart
to her lover, nor make her less than
helpful and tender to comparative
stranger She is of the most perfect
type of a womanhood content to live
in the shade of heme and strong
mans love. Wherever she goes she
will carry peace and create happiness
her influence will be ever es-
sentially pure and gentle. She will
know nothing of burning questions,
so she will not be able to discuss them,
The deeper riddles of life and morality,
of society and humanity, she will moi
teuch, nor will they trouble the serene
loveliness of her thoughts. All that
she knows. or ever will know, is, thai
life is sweet because of her affection:
and her duties-because her conscience
is void of offense before God and mar
because she knows neither idlenes:
nor repining, neither the pangs of un
satisfied ambition nor the fiery pain'

PHIL'S LESSON.
How a Self Confident Boy Was
Convinced of His Error.


"Miss Belcher is going to have a
spelling bee, mother, instead of her
usual entertainment, this year. She
thinks it will be better for the pupils
is shep" and Mrs. Moore looked
up from her sewing with evident in
terest.
Miss Belcher was Fred's school
teacher, and every winter she had for
the boys some entertainment, in
which there was always debate, and
the winning side was rewarded hand
somely.
But this year it was to be spelling
bee, where only one boy could win,
and Miss Bclcher had scheme in her
head when she changed her course of
entertainments, Hitherto the boys
had known nothing of their subject;
now they were allowed to study a
week ahead, and she wondered how
many of her twenty boys would de-
prive themselves of play that week, in
order to win the prize at the end.
Philip, Fred's brother, who was
reading a book at the other end of the
room. looked up lazily, saying;
Going to study, FredP"
"Yes, aren't you? have splendid
book to study from, with all the catch
words in it. We can study together. !"
"Can weP" and Phil laughed good
naturcdly mo study for me this
week, thanks; the baseball match
comes off day after tomorrow, and /
have number of things to attend to. "
"Why won't you drop your play for
once, Philip, and attend to your
studies?" and Mrs. Moore spoke very
seriously. You will never succeed at
all, and | should feel very much NOR
titled if you were to fail right at the
outset"
''No danger, mother" and Phil
laughed lightly. Spelling is my best
branch, anyhow might study thou,
sand words and never get one of them
so don't worry. am not afraid
"Do you expect to win the prize
without making any effort at all?' and
Fred looked over at his brother little
Indignantly.
Il may, and l may not. Every body
can't be first"
Very well; we shall see," and Mrs
Moore returned quietly to her sewing
But she sighed little when Phillip
soon after threw his book on the table
and went whistling from the room t
keep one of his numerous engage
ments; while Fred, having brough
down his copy of words, took the sea
he had vacated and went diligently t.
work.
The week went by quickly, so quickl.
that Friday night was upon them al
most before they were aware. Ever.
day out of that week, for at least al
hour, Fred had spent over his list o
words, and he had the satisfaction o
knowing that out of those four hun
dred and fifty words there was not on
he could fail on; and then, besides tn
regular list, he had added about MT,
of his own, and five hundred regula
catch-words are not a few, he had tol'
himself, with pardonable pride.
